Bit harsh to write him off based on his loan spell last year when he wasn't match fit. At 26 he will be in his prime.

Conway was yet another cock up as we should have secured him on a permanent deal. When he arrived he wasn't match fit but by the time he left ( IMO ) he had well demonstrated what he could add to our ( potential ) attacking threat.
Much rather have KLL.

Oscar didn't want Conway.

Are you really judging him on the handful ( seven ? ) games he played for us when coming back from injury, mostly under the clueless Finn ?
Harsh.

Of all the rumours and speculation I hope this one comes off.

Of the two I would far sooner have a fully fit EB. In fact he would the man I chased after most of all the speculation about BZ etc. EB is the man to provide the chances for Hemed and Baldock, then scoring problem solved at a reasonably cheap rate.
Maybe a little harsh but when he went back to Norwich he only started one game plus a few games as sub.
Not sure if that's down to injury, poor form or they just had someone better.
If there is any truth to this rumour ( not just an old player returning wind up) hope it's the old player we used to know.
Bit harsh to judge him on the loan spell when he was returning from serious injury. He would be, in my opinion, a decent addition. Can play wide and through the middle and capable of decent delivery. A player I would guess Hughton likes being hard working and committed. This is probably just made up stuff but I would not be unhappy if true.
But are you judging him on the player he was 3 and a half years ago?
That EB is very different to the one who has now had at least 2 decent injuries, one serious, and has only started 7 (seven) league games in 2 full seasons.
If so I think you are being equally harsh.

I am not being harsh on him at all, and think he would be an excellent signing for us.

I saw him in a couple of games and thought the same. He looked a class above a lot of the players on the pitch.
So was Kemy, Harley & Hoskins.
There's a whole world of fit, injury free wingers, out there, desperate to make a name for themselves in English football.
Why saddle yourself with another sick note, just because he once played for the Albion.
Wish I could agree with that, but I don't recall seeing anything during that spell to suggest he was getting back to anywhere near what he was.
The caveat is that pretty well everyone in Hypia's teams looked shocking
I think people are missing something here.
With CMS gone, there is no natural replacement in the "always smiling and nice on twitter" role. Elliott Bennett would be perfect for this - the club would be stupid to not get him in before another club snaps him up.

What a ridiculous comment. Even the most 'non-injury-prone' can have their career ended in an instant.
And I strongly disagree Bennett is a 'sicknote'. In fact, that's quite an insulting allegation to levy at him with no evidence.
Benno would be a fantastic addition to the squad.
So lets employ, on top dollar, a player who's come bloody close to already having a career ender.
After all lightening does strike twice does it? what could possibly go wrong?
If only one of:-
Armando Vajushi
Garry Rodrigues
Geoffrey Mujangi Bia
Sylvester Igboun
Thorsten Schick
Nikolaos Karelis
Nicklas Bärkroth
Derlis Gonzalez
were fast, talented, wingers, who could deliver a final ball, be younger than EB, and with a clean bill of health.
Still there's no substitute for previously playing for the Albion, in the third division.

So are you saying all of those players are willing to come to Brighton then? All for a reasonable price? wow that's good then!
No I'm saying if a 10 minute rudimentary Wiki search, by a fat postman, can find talented wingers perhaps it's time to cast the player recruitment net a little further than the end of your nose.
Esp if we are to believe the club is one of this highest payers in one of the worlds most expensive leagues.
